Product details
Overview
LM2591HVSX-ADJ from Texas Instruments is a monolithic nonsynchronous step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator IC delivering up to 1 A output current with adjustable output voltage ranging from 1.2 V to 57 V, ±4% tolerance over line and load, operating from input voltages up to 60 V and featuring internal 150-kHz fixed-frequency oscillator and ON/OFF control for standby mode.
For engineers reviewing the LM2591HVSX-ADJ datasheet, LM2591HVSX-ADJ pinout, LM2591HVSX-ADJ application, or LM2591HVSX-ADJ equivalent, key selection considerations include its wide-input-voltage capability (4.5–60 V), feedback reference voltage (1.23 V), thermal shutdown protection, 90-μA standby quiescent current, and compatibility with standard 5-pin DDPAK/TO-263 surface-mount package layouts.
Technical Context
The LM2591HVSX-ADJ implements a nonsynchronous buck topology with an integrated NPN power switch, internal frequency compensation, and fixed 150-kHz oscillator-enabling compact external filter design. Its feedback loop senses output voltage via a resistive divider referenced to 1.23 V at the Feedback pin, supporting precise regulation across the full 1.2–57 V range.
Control logic includes active-low ON/OFF pin enabling shutdown with 90-μA typical quiescent current, while protection features comprise two-stage current limiting (1.3–2.8 A peak), thermal shutdown at 150°C junction temperature, and absolute maximum ratings including 63-V input voltage and 25-V ON/OFF pin voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1 A DC continuous-supports industrial loads requiring stable mid-power conversion without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V-enables direct operation from 12 V, 24 V, 48 V, or unregulated battery/supply rails in harsh environments. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 57 V adjustable-set via external resistor divider; supports custom rail generation without multiple fixed-voltage SKUs. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.23 V ±4%-defines regulation accuracy baseline; determines output precision when using standard 1% resistors. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%)-enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 90 μA typical-minimizes system power draw during sleep or standby modes in battery-powered or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150°C junction temperature-prevents permanent damage under sustained overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
Pinout & Package
LM2591HVSX-ADJ is supplied in a 5-pin DDPAK/TO-263 surface-mount package (body size 10.18 mm × 8.41 mm) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. The package is RoHS-compliant and designed for reflow soldering on standard PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: +VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 4.5–60 V DC; requires local bypass capacitor to suppress switching transients and supply peak inductor current. |
| 2: Output | Switch node | Drives external catch diode and inductor; swings between ~(+VIN − 1.2 V) and ~−0.5 V during switching cycle. |
| 3: Ground | Power and signal reference | Common return path for input/output capacitors, feedback network, and thermal pad; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 4: Feedback | Regulation sense input | Monitors divided output voltage; internal comparator maintains 1.23 V at this pin-sets output via R1/R2 divider ratio. |
| 5: ON/OFF | Shutdown control | Active-high enable: ≥2 V disables regulator (90 μA IQ); ≤0.6 V or floating enables operation; threshold = 1.3 V typical. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input voltage range (4.5–60 V) | Eliminates need for preregulation stages in automotive, industrial, and telecom power systems with variable input sources. |
| Adjustable output (1.2–57 V) | Reduces BOM count by replacing multiple fixed-output regulators; supports legacy and custom voltage requirements. |
| Integrated 150-kHz oscillator | Enables predictable EMI profile and simplifies filter design using off-the-shelf inductors rated for ≥150 kHz operation. |
| ON/OFF pin with 90-μA standby | Supports low-power system states without external enable circuitry-ideal for remote sensors and IoT edge nodes. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limiting | Provides autonomous fault recovery in overtemperature or short-circuit events-no external protection components required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2596HV-ADJ | Higher 3-A output current rating; same 60-V max input and 1.23-V feedback reference; 150-kHz switching frequency. | Better suited for higher-current loads (>1 A); larger thermal footprint due to TO-220 package option. | Select when output current exceeds 1 A but layout space permits TO-220 or larger DDPAK variant. |
| LM2678-ADJ | 2.5-A output; 260-kHz switching frequency; improved efficiency at light loads; requires external compensation. | Offers faster transient response and better light-load efficiency; more complex loop tuning required. | Choose for applications demanding >2 A output or tighter dynamic regulation where design resources allow compensation optimization. |
Compared with LM2591HVSX-ADJ, LM2596HV-ADJ provides higher current headroom in identical voltage ranges, while LM2678-ADJ trades simplicity for performance scalability-making LM2591HVSX-ADJ optimal for cost-sensitive, 1-A industrial buck designs needing minimal external components and proven thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2591HVSX-ADJ?
The LM2591HVSX-ADJ has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 63 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 60 V. Exceeding 60 V in normal operation risks violating safe operating area limits and may trigger overvoltage stress on internal components-even if within absolute maximums-so 60 V remains the practical upper limit per datasheet guidance.
How does the feedback pin function in LM2591HVSX-ADJ?
The Feedback pin of LM2591HVSX-ADJ senses the output voltage through an external resistor divider and maintains regulation by holding the pin at 1.23 V. This reference voltage defines the output as VOUT = 1.23 V × (1 + R1/R2), where R1 connects from output to feedback and R2 from feedback to ground. Bias current into this pin is only 10–50 nA, minimizing divider power loss.
Can LM2591HVSX-ADJ be used in negative-output configurations?
Yes, LM2591HVSX-ADJ supports positive-to-negative conversion using an inverting buck-boost topology. In this configuration, the ground pin is tied to the negative output, and the feedback pin is referenced to system ground. The regulator then regulates |VOUT|, with maximum input-to-output differential limited to 60 V-e.g., +20 V input can generate −40 V output, but not −50 V.
What thermal performance can be expected from LM2591HVSX-ADJ in DDPAK package?
In its standard 5-pin DDPAK/TO-263 package, LM2591HVSX-ADJ has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 50°C/W on a JEDEC 4-layer board. With proper PCB copper pour under the thermal pad, it sustains 1-A continuous output at ambient temperatures up to 85°C without forced airflow-derating linearly above that based on 150°C max junction temperature.
Does LM2591HVSX-ADJ require external compensation components?
No, LM2591HVSX-ADJ includes internal frequency compensation optimized for standard buck configurations using typical external components (e.g., 68–100 μH inductor, 220 μF output capacitor). External compensation is neither required nor supported-the device is designed for plug-and-play implementation with minimal external parts beyond inductor, diode, and input/output capacitors.
